Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Spatial audio–compatible AirPods + Harry Styles

Harry Styles – Music For a Sushi Restaurant (Audio)

Music For a Sushi RestaurantHarry Styles

“Music For a Sushi Restaurant,” released in 2022 by Harry Styles, formerly of One Direction.

As a Japanese person, the title naturally catches my attention, and the song was used in an AirPods commercial.

Its funky, groove-laden sound reminiscent of Prince and its catchy pop melody are particularly appealing.

What’s more, the album it appears on, “Harry’s House,” is said to have taken its title from Haruomi Hosono’s 1973 album “HOSONO HOUSE.” Both the song and the album really show Harry’s fondness for Japan!

Public Service Announcement (Interlude)Jay Z

This piece promotes the debut of Google’s AI, Gemini, and introduces how it can boost productivity.

From email summarization to generating images from text, it clearly conveys how easy it is to integrate into daily life and how simple it is to use.

It doesn’t just show the interface; it also depicts users’ reactions, which underscores the high level of functionality that meets expectations.

The track that further emphasizes the technological advances portrayed in this video is Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement (Interlude).” The calmly paced rap with a strong, punchy beat—and the contrast between the conversational lyrics and the announcement-like voice—creates a cool atmosphere.
